    Went up the bush today for a deer but had no luck except for stalking in on a couple of pigs. On the walk home I decided to make sure the 110g Barnes were travelling like they're supposed to so this fella took one for the team

    Don't worry that thought crossed my mind briefly but don't seem to be getting any deer on the deck lately so the hundred or so i have should see me through for quite some time.

    If you can head shoot a hare then a deer won't stand much of a chance, as the saying goes...aim small, miss small.

    Went to the cuzzies place in the wairarapa today. Wasn't much happening, place is usually crawling with hares but I reckon there's to much water on the ground. But I did get a 50m offhand shot at a fleeing hare today with the little badger... I was quite proud (and surprised) at hitting it.

    Nice... Times we've gone out and shot 1000+ in an evening. Other times you take the rifle for a wee wander and pop just a handful. Either way its dam good fun..

    Spring shooting just about to start in Canterbury/ Tekapo for us - looking forward to it !!

    Took the wife and kids out for a late afternoon of Hare destruction with the 22-250 and 17Hornet to celebrate daylight saving. Threw the bbq in for a hot snag after the work was done and the sun was setting. Busy morning boning out and vac packing.
